It’s not simply about “faster” launches. It’s about ones that work, with a solid foundation.
I am seeing too many stories from people who are stuck. The app crashes with real users. Agent starts breaking things that used to work.
None of this is good if you are trying to create something for a real live production system.
My belief is we are still at the stage where a human-in-the-loop is needed.
@Gipity-Steve - was coming back to this since I’m close to publishing my app, and there is a portion of it I want on iOS and Android if possible. I saw this link was down, anything happening with this project?
@shawn93, the project is very much alive. But after a lot of soul searching, I decided to make the AI Dev Kit (ADK) repo private, and roll a commercial licence for it into the support hub membership - see my website.
As I said in another topic on here though, I am happy to offer people in this forum free membership (including the ADK licence). I need friendly early adopters to try it out, give feedback, and tell their social connections once it all works 
I have a few members starting on it, but everything is still early while I finish writing all the support docs. Even with GPT’s help, it’s a long job, and they seem to be taking longer than building the original app! Once everything is ready I will be going crazy in sales mode! But people are free to join right now, as the early setup guides are ready to use.
One thing to be clear on: the ADK is a complete base app. It cannot be used to wrap existing apps - you would need to build the entirety of the app with the ADK. It is also heavily opinionated and intertwined with Supabase for auth, DB and file storage. For people who’ve already architected their app to use other options (Replit’s own auth/DB), this wouldn’t work.
My key market, once I switch into sales mode, is new startup non-tech founders who have got a blank sheet of paper, need something that takes all the architecting decisions for them, and gives them a quick start for their MVP, with a solid base for web and/or native apps.
Plus, I offer personal ongoing support inside the support forum. I believe this is what all AI dev platforms are missing, and a lack of expert guidance is why a lot of non-tech vibe coders are very quickly coming unstuck and getting into a mess with broken apps and costs shooting through the roof.
I appreciate you’ve already done a lot on your app, but DM me if you still think it could work for the native app portion - I’d love to chat over it.
I unfortunately don’t fit the build 
I’m in prod so no turning back now on the infrastructure. Wish the post came out in February! 
No worries. By definition, most people in this forum are too late to be my clients - they have already started apps. I target new non-tech founders who had their big idea in the bath just last night, and are on day zero of figuring it all out.
But I would still offer this forum’s members free signup, as promised, so when you start a 2nd app, you know where I am
Steve, I’d love to give it a shot as I attempt to build a digital “patient journal” app from my current print/static paper journal I’ve developed for a book I’m publishing. Is this offer still available?
Great job!
Hi Gipity,
First of all Congratuations for publishing your app. I am trying to build an app and struggling with some issues. I have opened a ticket, but thought you could help. I am getting an error consistantly on my mobile Expo-Go. The error is realted to “ffmpeg“ somehow it’s not able to find the executable. Even though it’s there in the .profile PATH variable and which command can find it. But somehow the app spwans a child process during that operation and looses the PATH variable value. That’s my understanding. Have you encountered anything like this. The agent keep telling me it’s fixed, it’s fixed but that’s just a lie that it tells me everytime.
Also. if you could explain who did you use “I’ve created a completely new workflow that provides a production-ready app foundation, built for rapid prototyping and MVP development using Replit AI Agent.“
